A substantial and striking family home forming part of this imposing period conversion on the edge of Crowborough, well placed for the amenities and schools within the town.
Dating back to the early 1900s, West Whinfel forms one portion of this handsome period house, which was converted into two dwellings in the 1950's. This substantial property which is beautifully presented throughout offers an abundance of space, nearing 5000 sq ft set across four floor.
The house enjoys much character, with high ceilings and well-proportioned rooms and with many interesting and eye-catching features found throughout, including a number of feature fireplaces, decorative coving and picture rails to some rooms, and original wooden flooring to the ground floor.
On entering West Whinfel the split level ground floor is currently arranged with a family room to the front of the house, used by our clients as a craft room/study. The reception hall is of such a size and with good natural light pouring through the roof lantern, that our clients use this space for entertaining, formal dining and a cosy seating area near the feature fireplace.
The kitchen/breakfast room can accommodate a large dining table and the well-appointed kitchen is fitted with shaker-style base cabinetry providing good storage, ample preparation space, with a range of integrated appliances including an AGA oven, and space for further freestanding appliances; there is also a good sized pantry cupboard.
The sitting room is of particular note; this very elegant and impressive room, with its wonderful feature windows and doors enjoys direct access onto and the view over the garden
beyond. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
The cellar provides yet more flexibility, used by our clients for more recreational space, with two store rooms and a wine cellar, and separate access to the driveway and front garden.
Subject to individual needs there are up to six bedrooms and four beautifully appointed bath/shower rooms set across the first and second floors, the majority of which benefitting from the elevated views over the garden and countryside beyond. On each floor there is a separate WC and very useful storage cupboards, together with a laundry room on the first floor, with space for appliances, air drying and ironing.
Outside: West Whinfel enjoys an established, good-sized garden but is still manageable in scale. There is plenty of room for child's play on the level lawn, with space for outdoor entertaining and dining on the large flag stone terrace that wraps around the house.
The house is approached via a private driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. There is a detached double carport with a room above which is an ideal space for a home office/gym/studio.

The space on offer at West Whinfel is superb, a house you can truly grow into and entertain guests in comfort. It really does need to be viewed to be appreciated. The garden also has much further potential but if green fingers aren't your thing the golf course is but moments away. Gardening or golf?! The choice is yours!
